I'm not worried that I will catch it. I have to travel next year. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to get nose swabbed.

Now it looks like I'm going to have to go through hell again when I travel

I mean at this point, if you've been vaxxed you just do your normal precautions and keep on living. I was given the suggestion by my primary doctor to go ahead and get the booster, so I will next Saturday.

I'm just getting tired off all the fearmongering. Caution is cool, just no more panic. I'm over it.

The current vaccines should make this new "ohshit!" thing not be a big deal for nigh-everyone already vaccinated, but you should stay home for a couple weeks if you get it anyway.

We literally do not have enough information to say whether this evades current vaccine immunity or not.
The vaccines don't give immunity, at all. It's just the rough analogue of "do not accept checks from this person".
If some variant shows up, your immune system is primed to kick its ass, but it may or may take a bit longer for the stranger ones.

i would get it as soon as possible. if shit goes down it'll be a few weeks after thanksgiving. if anyone had covid they'll be infected.
i was looking at the omicron. it's causing sickness but to a lesser degree to delta. fatigue for a few days. some body aches. really mild. but they didn't look at how bad it would impact an elderly person.

It reduces your chance of spreading. Not stop it altogether.

I don't know, I think it will eventually cause severe cognative decline.

OVERGOATED posted...
20-30yo unvaccinated are allegedly getting severe symptoms
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/covid-variant-threat-worldwide-scramble-81417682

Young people, in their 20s to just over their late 30s, are coming in with moderate to severe disease, some needing intensive care. About 65% are not vaccinated and most of the rest are only half-vaccinated,

So basically get vaccinated and wear a mask.

Basically take the proper steps and you will most likely be ok. What worries me isn't this variant but a future one. This will kill people who didn't need to die, people will act like it's a lie and even more people will die, then we will plateau before things calm down. It should be a warning signs of things to come if we don't get most people vaccinated, even the poorer countries. Instead it will be another warning sign that this shit will get worse and worse until enough idiots die.
